LTE-Advanced is an emerging standard that promises to deliver true 4G speeds and support bigger wireless data payloads. In order to do so, a number of new technologies like Carrier Aggregation (CA) and higher-order MIMO are utilized....More

EW receivers often use angle of arrival (AoA) as a primary sorting parameter in dense signal environments. Reducing the uncertainty in direction-finding (DF) receiver measurements leads to better accuracy in AoA estimation. Prior to AoA accuracy testing in a lab setting, calibration -- process, application and verification -- can be performed at the interface to the system under test....More

The design process of wireless systems, subsystems and components necessitates a comprehensive test strategy that includes both optimization and validation. The most productive approach that is cost efficient and will minimize the time-to-market must combine quick and easy standard-compliance tests with more thorough analysis and troubleshooting....More

The prosaic DC power supply is receiving more and more scrutiny as supply voltages continue to get smaller. Supply tolerances are getting tighter as users try to decrease power, increase yield and minimize supply induced signal noise. This webcast will discuss tools and techniques for making power integrity measurements such as ripple, noise, spikes, compression, static/dynamic load response and supply induced signal noise and signal jitter....More

VESA released the first type C connector alternate mode specification shortly after the USB-IF released its power delivery and type C specifications, by tailoring the DP1.3 specification to the new connector. This presentation will provide an overview of how the alternate mode works for DisplayPort and discuss in depth the implications of the type C specification and how it changes the testing approach to DisplayPort....More

Charging battery-operated devices from something as small as a smart watch to as large as an electric-powered bus have traditionally been accomplished with charging cables and AC/DC power adapters of various sizes. However, battery-operated devices are quickly becoming untethered today with the rapid adoption of wireless charging technology. There are two major wireless charging technologies based on either magnetic induction or magnetic resonance. Products based on either or both of these technologies must meet stringent standards....More

In this webcast, we will explore the latest design challenges that SI and PI engineers are being faced with, and new tools that are now available to deal with these challenges. With ever increasing design complexity and link speeds, it is critical that designers have access to the fastest and most accurate simulation tools....More

We are all familiar with them—oscilloscopes probes. We usually get one for free with each channel for the oscilloscope we purchase. Just plug the probe in and go, right? Well, not exactly. An incorrect probe or incorrect probing technique can cause faulty measurements regardless of the caliber of the oscilloscope being used....More

The USB Type C connector is being targeted for all the popular consumer electronics technologies and will require broad and deep considerations in test. This presentation will deal exclusively on how to get the design validation task done working through product functionality, test environment, and testing objectives....More

When validating products for quality assurance (QA) in the lab or on manufacturing lines, speed and ease of test are critical. In this webcast, you will learn the basic software tools required to fully automate test sequences on Keysight InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscopes. We will first cover traditional, remote programming methods via Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)....More

The Type-C connector is emerging as the connector of the future for not only USB, but also display and other technologies. So the question remains for those that are not actively involved with Type-C development, is why is this happening? This Webcast will discuss the why and the many challenges that come with testing Type-C technologies....More

Noise is a characteristic of all electronic circuits, and is a fundamental parameter to be considered in transmitter and receiver component design, as it typically limits the overall performance of any wireless system. Because signal analyzers are high-performance broadband receivers, their ability to measure very low amplitude signals while maintaining high accuracy and fast sweep speed is impacted by internal noise....More

Understanding the properties of materials (both natural and man-made) is important for a variety of reasons. Materials such as metallic materials, semiconductors, organic materials (such as polymers) and compound semiconductors have provided profound benefits over the last century....More

Do you have temperature changes? How do you know if stray voltage is affecting your current measurements? Are you measuring common signals such as pulses? You may not realize it, but your DMM might be lying to you....More

Testing an electronic device or system implies applying the right stimuli to the device or system under test and analyzing the resulting behavior. In some cases, stimuli come from the real world, but in most situations a set of signals must be supplied by an instrument such as an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) to ensure repeatable and deterministic testing....More

Easily finding CAN/CAN FD anomalies and debugging the serial bus system in automotive, industrial, and medical applications can be a challenge. Viewing and correlating the protocol layer with the physical layer is key to efficient debug, as well as verifying the arbitration behavior of the system under test....More

Next generation optical links for data centers such as 400G Ethernet, 64G and 256G Fibre Channel will use PAM-4 modulation in both the electrical chip-to-module as well as the optical link itself. While the development of the electrical links is well under way, work on the optical side has just begun....More

Within the past 12 months numerous announcement were made about 5G. But officially, there is no clear definition of 5G yet available. Nonetheless the IMT-Advanced group of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has issued a visions and requirements document that set three cornerstones that a 5G technology shall be focusing on: mobile broadband, massive machine type communication and ultra-low latency and resilient communication....More

Despite increasing global concerns about the environment, the demand for energy continues to rise. Additionally, many consumers are moving to a more wireless lifestyle and are therefore demanding longer operating times from their wireless devices.
